New York Threatened by Spread of the
Cholera ScOurge.
New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE steady prog
ress of cholera among the passengers
of the steamship Alesia who are de.
tanned upon Hcffman's island has
aroused the board of health OF this city
to the impending danger to New York.
Ever since the Alesia arrived in port let
ters have been received by President
Bayles informing him of the risk the
city was running in not appealing to the
quarantine commission to take more
radical measures to inspect the health
of the port than it's members have
adopted hitherto. So Mr.. Bayles
instructed DR.. CYRUS Edison and DIR.
Hermann N. Biggs to visit the
quarantine island and make
thorough investigation At Hoffman ISL
and they discovered indication that the
quarantine Was not nearly SO strict as it
should have been, and that every day
under the present conditions added to
the danger Of the city. They also found
that small boats were in the GUS
tom of rowing near both Hoffman
and Swinburne Islands, sup
plying the guaranteed passengers
with food and clothing from the city.

clans discovered that small boats rowed
fromisland to island and were. allowed to

visions were carried from the main
land to Swinburne Island, and the
persons who took them were allowed to
return without any precaution being
taken to prevent the transportation of
the germs; that even the hospital at
pendants frequently went to the main
land and spent the night with their
friends. The interior of the Swinburne
Island Hospital the physicians found to
be in excellent sanitary condition. All
the doctors, including Drs. Edison and
Biggs, were alarmed for the safety of the
city. Their presentation of the facts
which they had gathered so alarmed
President Bayles that he made an ap-
plication to the police department for
boats to patrol in the vicinity of the in

At the Knights of Labor session at

presented the following resolution under
suspension of the rules:
Considering that the development of the hu-

capital punishment or taking of human life by
judicial process as a relic of barbarism, there

Resolved, That this convention express sorrow
that the men in Chicago were doomed to death
commutation of the sentence of death passed
upon them.
The convention was at once thrown
into the widest excitement, scores of
the delegates trying at the same time to-
obtain the floor. General Master Work
man Powderly decided the resolution
out of order. Joseph Evans, of Pitts
burg, appealed from the decision. The
appeal was lost by vote Isl to So.
Before the appeal was taken, Mr..
Powderly called General Worthy
Foreman Griffith, of Chicago, to
the chair, and, in a short but vehement
speech, called upon the convention to
defeat the resolution. He said no true
Knight could be an Anarchist. He ap-
pealed to the delegates in imprisoned
words not to pervert the purpose of the
order by the passage Of any such reso-
luton. 1t was the hottest speech Pow
derry was ever known to make.

Last night he became little bold.

CHICAGO'S SENSATION
Banker Rawson Mortal1y Wounded by
His Step-son.


His Step-son.
CHICAGO, Oct. l7.-Banker Stephen w.
Rawson, who was shot by his step-son
William R. Lee, yesterday morning, is
in the same condition this morning.
The attending physicians have little
hope that he will pull through, but
owing to his advanced age and physical
weakness arising from the great loss of
blood, any prognosis is attended with
much speculation.
The Rawson affair has been before
the public since September 90, 1886.
when Mrs. Rawson commenced suit for
divorce on the ground of Entertainment
They were married on March !, 1856,
she being Rawson's third wife and he
her third husband. A cross-bill was
filed by Rawson, who alleged that his
vile had been untrue to him and sought
to prove by two sleeping-car porters
that his assertion was true One
OF the parties subsequently vol
UNFAIRLY appeared in court and
swore that the story of Mrs. Rawson's
inidelity was false; that he had been
hired to testify as he had done. It was
claimed by Mrs. Rawson and her attor-
ney that the husbands attempt to rum
her reputation was to avoid paying
heavy alimony.
Mrs. Rawson had son by a previous
marriage William r. Lee, Is or IL years
old. He took greatly to heart the al
legged attempts to show that his mother
was bad woman. Yesterday morning
he went to the vicinity of the Third
Presbyterian Church during SER
vice, waited until Mr.. Rawson
came out, and shot him five
times, the affair being witnessed
by hundreds of worshipers. One bullet
passed through the right leg, another
through the wrist, a third penetrated
the hip, a fourth the high and the fifth
entered the back near the spine and
passed nearly through the body. Lee
was arrested. When Mrs. Rawson was
told of the shooting she said she was
glad of it, and that she hoped Rawson

Shanghai correspondent to-day gives

while trying to obtain the concession,
used the name of Mr.. Vanderbilt, which
was mentioned in the agreement signed

warned, but not in time to pre-
vent the use of his name.
Then Mitkiewicz mentioned the names of
Messrs. Gould and Mackey. On Mr..
Gould's son denying his fathers connec-
ton with the syndicate, Mitkiewicz en-
gagged the Barker Bros, of London,
who, after consulting a large banking
firm of London, pronounced the scheme
untenable. 1t transpires, moreover, that
whatever railways and other works
should be undertaken with money
raised in America were to be mortgaged

A steamboat Superstition.

Says an old deck hand on a. steam
boat: s'There is one peculiar super
stition among steamboat men that
does not lose any of it's interest by
age. Whenever a minister and white
horse happen to make the trip at the
same time on the steamboat, there is
always an accident OF some kind to
follow. 1t may not be always to the
steamboat, but it is certain to be to
the boat or some of the passengers.
This superstition is so strong among
the deck hands that they will posi-
lively refuse to 60 on a boat which
carries g. minister and white horse"
